Presentation of Handicapped Motorcycle

Mathavan a/l Periannen who lives along the Jalan Gambang Highway relies on his motorcycle for his livelihood.  As he does not have the use of his legs, his motorcycle has been modified so that it can be operated using his hands only. 

He collects cardboard cartons for sale which he carries on the side car attached to his motorcycle.  The motorcycle which he was using was very old and gave him quite a bit of trouble.
